Forest fires cause many environmental impacts, including air pollution. Brazil is a very fire-prone region where few studies have investigated the impact of wildfires on air quality and health. We proposed to test two hypotheses in this study: (i) the wildfires in Brazil have increased the levels...

Rare earth elements (REEs) are used in various fields, resulting in their accumulation in the environment. This accumulation has affected the survival and distribution of crops in various ways. Acid rain is a serious global environmental problem. The combined effects on crops from these two types...

With the rapid growth of population and economy, shortage and mismatch of land and water resources have deepened the need for cropping pattern optimization. In the context of the sustainable development of agriculture, cropping pattern optimization should not only pursue economic benefits, but the...

Seed germination is the earliest process in plant development and is crucial for further plant growth and fitness. The process is regulated by various internal and external factors, including soil pollutants such as nonessential metals. In the present study, we examined in detail the impact of...

Crop productivity is potentially affected by several air pollutants, although these are usually studied in isolation. A significant challenge to understanding the effects of multiple pollutants in many regions is the dearth of air quality data near agricultural fields. Here we empirically estimate...

Pollutants and water consumption in agriculture are essential factors in terms of water environment resource conservation. Calculating the water resource use efficiency of crops is crucial to reduce water consumption and pollution to alleviate the conflict between water use and food. Herein, we...

Heavy metal contamination in cultivated land is turning out to be a major problem these days. This paper presents the experimental results of the variation of heavy metal concentration in the cultivated land before and after planting different crops and accumulation of heavy metal concentration in...

Agricultural pesticides can become persistent environmental pollutants. Among many, glyphosate (GLP) is under particular scrutiny because of its extensive use and its alleged threats to the ecosystem and human health. Here, we introduce the first global environmental contamination analysis of GLP...

The excessive use of pesticides and fertilizers during agricultural production causes water pollution, which is an important type of non-point source pollution (NSP). Large amounts of harmful substances, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, flow into surface water along with farmland runoff, leading to ...

Foreign experience in reducing the emissions of volatile organic compounds shows that the edible vegetable oil processing industry, as the main user of the solvents, needs to control the emissions of VOCs. In order to grasp the domestic VOCs emission characteristics and control strategies in edible ...
